Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobic interval training on cardio respiratory endurance and resting pulse rate among university men football players. For the purpose of the study, thirty men football players studying Bachelor’s degree in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects and they were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each at random namely aerobic interval training group and control group. The age of the selected subjects were ranged from 18 to 21 years. Group I underwent aerobic interval training for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group II acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme of their curriculum. The following variables such as cardio respiratory endurance and resting pulse rate were only selected as criterion variables. The data were collected on selected criterion variables at prior and immediately after the experimental period as pre and post tests respectively. By using coopers 12minutes run/walk and radial pulse test respectively. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference among the groups, if any separately for each criterion variable. The .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between aerobic interval training group and control group on cardio respiratory endurance and resting pulse rate.
